The 5 Elemental Lord
Land country
"Counselor, I'm in a hurry, maybe I have a message for emperor Shima, you can establish brotherhood between the three countries. But promise me that you will not tell Emperor Shima who I really am!" Whisper back Zeno.
"It seems like you do have a flurry, alright then, I will pass on your message to the emperor. Goodbye pang, I mean young master, have a nice trip." Shouted the advisor by leaving Zeno.
Zeno smiled after hearing the statement from the advisor, now he again invited Selena to immediately leave the empire. But he saw Selena narrowing her eyes as she whispered with Zeno.
''What? What are you guys talking about? Who exactly are you?" Selena asked who was still narrowing her eyes.
"You don't need to know, but someday you'll know who I really am." Zeno said with a soft laugh.
"Come on, can you tell me who you really are?" Selena asked.
"Forget it, the most important thing is our farewell this time. I'm going to land now, and you, it looks like you're going on an adventure in another country." Zeno said to divert his conversation.
"No, I'm from a land country. And I'll be your guide this time." Said Selena who distracted her.
"Seriously? Alright."
They finally agreed to go together to the land state, after all the land state is the country of Selena's origin, so Selena happily joined Zeno so that she could show how her land came from.
The trip may take until tomorrow morning, because now they have night time. But they also did not rest at all, because of Zeno's determination to want to get the earth element, even though in this country he did not get the lightning element.
Zeno seemed to have to return in two more months to obtain one important event: the red lightning that struck the skies of the Empire's lightning state.
After all if he could obtain the lightning element before two months, he was extremely grateful.
Moreover, after he visits a historical or mysterious place to awaken the elements of his land, he must head outside the continent in search of his father, because he desperately wanted to meet his biological father who for fifteen years he had not met at all.
Zeno recalled that as he fought against the traitors of the Empire, he had once brought out the ice element using his two-soul sword.
"Right, since I have those two elements, then I can take out the ice. But how to combine the two elements?" He murmured in the heart.
He was eager to be able to combine his elements intentionally, as he had already taken out three times of ice in an accidental state and the help of two soul swords. That made Zeno even more confident that he could actually take out ice.
*****
It was morning, the journey of Zeno and Selena took a very long time to the south which is the territory of the land state. And finally, their journey had arrived and there were no obstacles whatsoever.
Zeno and Selena for one night did not rest at all, they chose to ride the horse so that their destination quickly arrived.
The two of them had arrived at the guard post, just like the lightning country, the land state also had no conflict to any country, but their defense was very strict, as well, in fact they also built a barrier wall that might be purely from their strength. A barrier wall that becomes a barrier between the safe area and the land state.
Land states also implement illegal systems to foreigners carrying sharp weapons, but they must give one gold coin for one weapon they carry.
Unlike Selena, she was not allowed a fee when carrying one of her swords. Because he showed the insignia of the land state which meant that Selena was indeed from the land state.
As he entered the land country, he suddenly recalled the story of his mother who had been kidnapped by the Land Elementalist who came from the land country.
"Hey Selena, is there someone in this country who has a depraved lust for a pregnant woman?" Zeno asked so curiously.
Selena was instantly speechless as she heard Zeno's words, now she could only grit her teeth and not answer anything from Zeno's question.
Glancing at it, Zeno became frowned, he became curious after he knew something was hidden by Selena. "What's wrong?"
"There's nothing." Selena answered so coldly.
Zeno's feeling was right, there was something Selena was hiding that made him unable to answer Zeno's question. But Zeno could not force it, he was interested in silence and not questioning Selena anymore.
"We've only known each other one day, but we've been close to each other like friends for a long time." Zeno.
"Well right, buddy."
Eventually, Zeno decided to find a store to fill his stomach. But she saw Selena's face was not full of spirit as if there was something sad in her heart.
But Zeno did not care about it, he remained seated on his horse and focused on finding a shop. Because, since yesterday he has not eaten at all.
After all, he wanted to head to the store so that he would get such an important news. Because from the beginning, the store is a nest of news that is easy to convey.
Until finally, they had found a fairly crowded store, so Zeno decided to enter the store.
"Miss, I ordered the food that people usually order here. And you're Selena? What did you order?" Zeno asked, looking towards Selena.
"I'm just like you." Selena answered so lethargic.
"Well Miss, two meals that people usually order here." Zeno Sahut.
The two of them finally sat down after ordering the food, it was time for Zeno and Kiba to put their ears together to get some warm news.
*Did you hear? That in a week's time, there'll be a tournament whose prize is soil crystal."
"What did you say? Crystal Soil?"
"Well right, it's unmistakable that the tournament was open to minorities as well.'
"Ah shit, must be very troublesome. Isn't that unfair?" Said one of them with a sour face.
"I think that's fair, because the other Elementalists or minorities can also get and feel what it's like to have the land element."
Luckily, right at Zeno sitting on a chair, he got a news from the conversation of the people nearby. But the thing is, their topic of conversation is a race or tournament with a Crystal Soil prize.
Zeno himself also did not know what the Soil Crystal was, likely from the look of the people talking about it, the Soil Crystal was a very valuable object. That made Zeno very curious.
